We've restructured our podcast!

We Shifted the Podcast  from just stories to strategy.

Hear what’s changing, listen in for why we made the shift, and what to expect moving forward.

Now streaming every Wednesday, every episode designed to help you stop hustling and start leading like a CEO.

When Hello and Welcome began, it was a space to share the journeys of inspiring hosts. But over time, I realized that stories alone aren’t enough.

Hosts like you need real answers. That’s why this podcast has shifted—from stories to strategy. Now, I share the systems, templates, and decision-making tools I use inside my Build Your Systems program, directly with you.

You’ll hear episodes that help you break through bottlenecks, lead with confidence, build your team, and reclaim your time.

  • Are there costs involved as a guest?  Being on the show completely free! We love featuring awesome hosts, vendors, tech experts, or anyone who can add value and inspiration to our community.
  • How long should I plan for? The show is typically 30-45 minutes. 
  • What should I bring? I use an iPad for notes, headphones, and a microphone, but all you need is a computer or phone to record, and that's it!
  • Where do we record? While we used to be in a studio, we now record from home via a Zoom-like platform, making it super easy and convenient for everyone!
  • What should I wear? Currently, we're only using audio—though we do record video because we like to see your face! You’re welcome to dress in full business attire or stay comfy in pajamas. It’s totally up to you!
  • Turnaround time from record to live? Our typical podcast turnaround time is 1-3 weeks, depending on the time of year. It could be a little longer or shorter.
  • How should I prepare? It would be helpful if you came with a few questions or topics in mind. We'll prepare some questions too, and together we’ll dive into what we think our audience will find most valuable.
